Good morning everyone. I hope all is well. Anxiously waiting for MRI tomorrow. Today is the same as it has been. Damn I just want to know and start the recovery. Grrrr
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Gonna head to Oceanside this morning to visit Mother. So I check Sigalert LA to see if there are any major freeway catastrophes to avoid. Hwy 101 near down town is closed due to FLOODING 
. Half dozen different ways around it, so it's no big deal. Where did they get water enough to flood a freeway in July in SoCal? Not exactly rainy season

Speaking for all of us, We hope all goes well and you can get fixed up.
Nice... The long 8 foot box also.... You can fit a full sheet of plywood in an 8 foot box and close the tailgate...
Ok, caught up to yesterday morning... Need a break...
Catch you all later...
Catch you all later...
I may go knock on the door of the house and inquire.

Hasta Karl
Last trans I did like that was an American Motors small block standard 3 speed, a hatch back car. Can't remember the friggin name at the moment, not a Gremlin, not a javelin..****I worked as a mechanic at a local towing company when I was in college... One day I had to change the clutch in a Mercury Bobcat with a 4 cylinder engine... I had the trans out and the new clutch in and needed to put the trans back up...
The bosses' brother told me to borrow the trans jack from the shop next door as ours was broken...
I didn't feel like walking there and dragging it back... (It was farther than just next to us - in the same strip of shops)
So I had the other mechanic my age (Gary) hand me the trans while I layed on the creeper... I then scooted under the car and bench pressed the trans up and got it in place and finished bolting it back in...
A little while later, the bosses' brother came in and saw the trans back in and asked how it got in there... Gary said, "Karl did it".... (not taking credit for my work...)
Then the bosses' brother said, "Karl, you just fucked up... You are now the official trans guy"....
my memory is going, going, gone
